This film, alongside The White House Effect, explores the potential legacy and effects of choices we’ve made before and are making now. They spotlight conflict between individuals pulling their worlds in different directions while examining the circumstances we inherit and the legacies we leave behind.

Your Tomorrow is an observational portrait of Ontario Place, Toronto’s iconic modernist waterfront park, in the last year before its controversial redevelopment from a public space into a private spa. Filming for nearly 100 days, Your Tomorrow follows an eccentric yet lovable group of characters who use and care for this magical, once celebrated park. A security guard who has worked there for forty years, a pair of Taiwanese retirees who visit the park daily and mark the changing seasons in the film, a swimmer/self-described “cyborg” who leads his cult following in year-round lake dips — plus a wider chorus of artists, urban explorers, birdwatchers, government officials, and environmentalists. The film documents a transitional moment in the landscape of the city, asking viewers to consider what our modern cities should look like and what a diverse urban society needs to thrive, while shedding light on the values of our generation.
